Travel style
Embarking on a luxurious river cruise is my ultimate way to unwind and feel utterly spoiled. Imagine having everything you could dream of right at your fingertips – from exquisite dining options to captivating guided tours and entertainment galore. But let's talk about planning a getaway to Italy or France – it's not just work for me, it's an absolute blast! I thrive on crafting the perfect itinerary filled with exciting adventures and hidden gems. And when it comes to dining, I'm all about seeking out those charming local spots that serve up not just delicious food, but unforgettable, authentic experiences. Of course, finding the best shopping spots is a close second on my list of travel passions! Join me on a journey where every moment is crafted with care and excitement.

Gail's reviews
My husband and I are greatly appreciative of Gail's diligence and hard work in reserving hotel rooms on multiple occasions in different cities. She was able to obtain better rates than we could, despite our use of several discount options, and successfully conveyed our special requests to the hotel. Working with Gail was uncomplicated and thorough as she conducted herself in a kind and professional manner. We will continue to use her services and will recommend her to others.

Gail helped us find a hotel with long-term parking for the night before our early departure. She gave us several options and shared the benefits of each. Gail's prompt response and timely updates are so appreciated! What a relief to have Gail takeover our Tauck booking! The process was clearly explained and we were able to transfer the booking without a hitch. Timely updates are indeed a plus and we can rest assured that our travel arrangements are in good hands!
